Welcome!

Welcome to the Lend A Paw Blog!
Where you can find up to date information about the program, current LAP teams and LAP therapy dogs candidates, scheduled visits, and much more.
Lend A Paw is committed to enhancing the lives of individuals experiencing physical, mental, emotional or life challenges by providing therapy dogs to offer warmth, compassion, unconditional love and a healing environment. The program is designed to rescue dogs from the shelter and train them to be therapy dogs. Individuals are also invited to join our LAP team with their own dogs provided the dogs have the required obedience and temperament for therapy work.

J.D. found a new home!

Sam is looking forward to having J.D. in his family!
J.D. the latest Lend A Paw trainee has finally found a new home; He was adopted by a great family who has a 5 year old boy named Sam. They met J.D. at one of New Leash On Life's Mobile Pet Adoption events at Petco and fell in love at first sight!
Sam is really excited to have another dog to play with (the family has a 7 year old Cocker Spaniel as well). He says that J.D. looks like Momo, the little Lemur in the show: "Avatar, The Last Airbender." Sam also says that he is looking forward to having J.D. sleep in his room!
Sam's dad, Jim will be working towards getting certified for Lend A Paw. He owns his own business and can make his own schedule. He thinks that the Lend A Paw program is really great and is looking forward to volunteering and giving back to the community.
On Monday, October 25th, Jim and Sam picked up J.D. at K9s Only. They were both happy and excited to take home their new family member!
